Red Protect helps protect you and your family's devices from harmful web content. With Red Protect you can browse the internet safely, bank online and set up limits on how long your children stay online.
Features and benefits:
- Protect your security and privacy by keeping your devices safe from viruses, ransomware and spyware
- Banking protection allows you to do your banking online without any worries
- Red Protect family rules means you can restrict access to content you feel is inappropriate for your children. Time limits lets parents choose when it’s time for children to put their devices away
